Bismarck's Coming conference
with KalnOky-War Prepare.

| marckS return from NaISlIl tiie quleG
OF diplomatic circles, unbroken for
| weeks, has been succeeded by COM
motion. His coming conference with
| Count Kalnoky at Kissingen is ex-
pected to Iced to new developments in
the policy of the Austro-G German alli-
ance against Russia. The overtures
made by Russia to have Count Schou-
( valof, Russian ambassador at Ber-
lin, take part in the conference were
coldly received and were not pushed.
Instead of comforting with Russia's
| representative, Prince Bismarck, dur
| ing his stay at Kissingen, will receive
| the Italian envoy Won Sloesser, Prus-
| sian Minister to the Vatican. 1t is
said the meeting will result in the
| renewal of the Italian alliance and Its
| public announcement concurrent with
| the renewal of the entente cordiale
between Italy and Austria appears
significant. In official circles it is
looked upon as settled that immedl-
| ately upon the meeting of the Reich
| stag a special tariff OF reprisals will be
proposed. Among the incidents in
| connection with Russian hostility, is
| Denmark's extension Of the fortifica-
tions at Copenhagen. Danish official
papers assert that the new works are
undertaken solely to complete the de-
tense in accordance with the old plans,
and that this does not indicate any
intention on the part of Denmark to
interfere if Germany engages in a war
with Russia or France. The facts are
the Notifications are being constructed
vigorously under Russia's prompting
and on a scale hitherto unknown in
Denmark.
Asking for n Compelling Order.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 14.-The Pa
cifc Railroad Commission to-day
filed a petition in the United States
Circuit Court asking that al order be
issued requiring Senator Leland STAN
ford to show cause why he should not
be compelled to answer certain ques-
tions asked him on Wednesday in re-
gard to the disposition made by him
OF certain moneys charged to the gen
eral and legal expense account of the
Central Pacific Company as repre-
scented by vouchers produced and
shown to him, which vouchers did
not show the disposition of the money
or to whom it was paid by him. The
petition also recites that the amounts
Of such moneys expended between
1870 and 1880 aggregated $734,OOO,
that Senator Stanford declines to an
swer as to when he paid the money or
whether any part was paid for the
purpose of influencing legislation, and
that he also declined to state who
were the attorneys who had been
accustomed to attend the Legislature
of California with him while he him
self was attending the Legislature in
the interest of the railroad company.
1t is thought the petition will be taken
up for argument August %. 1t is
stated that the total amount of vouch-
ers unaccounted for aggregate two
million dollars, but the Commission
has not set forth the full amount in
the petition, but only the amounts
upon which Stanford was questioned
particularly.
The ChatswOrth Horror.
CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The Inter
Oceans Forest, Illinois, special says:
Your correspondent has found a num-
Der of men at Piper City who positively
contradict the testimony OF Timothy
Coughlan, the section boss, that he
and his gang put out all the fires along
the track before they left their work
Monday. These men were of a party
which went from Piper City to the
wreck on a hand car. They say, as
they passed along the track east of the
wreck, they saw fire burning in the
hedges and the grass all the way
along. The best evidences obtainable
is that the fire built by the section hands
was within 100 rods of theburned bridge
when if was left. There is a general
sentiment among the residents here
that the section men were largely to
blame. Very few people, except the
officials of the road, give any credence

not nearly as much robbing at the
wreck as at first supposed. Watches
and rings thought to have been stolen
are being found among the debris as it
is cleared away.
A Flendish Piece or Work.
NEBRASKA Cry, Aug. 14.-The re.
port has just reached this town OF an
other fendish attempt at train wreck
ing on the B. & M. road at a place
ten miles west. Last night as a pas
senger train was crossing the trestle
bridge across a deep ravine the wood
work was discovered to be on fire. An
investigation disclosed the fact that
the stringers and braces were entirely
consumed and the bridge in a shaky
condition. The fact that the train was
an unusually light n prevented a
fearful catastrophe. Detectives are
working up the matter.
